San Francisco Bay Area Non Smoking Center Announces Prime Potential ? Program for Accelerating Evolution by Integrating Science, Psychology, and Spirituality
San Francisco Bay Area Non Smoking Center Announces Prime Potential ® Program for Accelerating Evolution by Integrating Science, Psychology, and Spirituality
Oakland, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 02, 2011
Prime Potential® is a powerful, life-changing process that assists people in identifying what is in their blind spot and metaphorically “locking up” a person’s system. Its revolutionary technology assists the nervous system to release core constrictions, which are not just in the mind or thinking, but stored in the body.
Ken says, “Every constriction is actually located in a person’s nervous system and when they release these blocks at the cellular level, profound changes occur. Whether someone feels like their energy, creativity or passion is being crushed, or they feel trapped, lost, or overwhelmed, it’s all logged in the nervous system.”
Clearing these constrictions, so the whole physical and emotional system can run smoothly, is the focus of Prime Potential®.
“Addressing deep challenges requires a holistic approach, including body, mind, and spirit,” said Guzzo. “This approach must be more than mere philosophy—it must extend to application and life-long integration.””
Prime Potential® is designed to activate life-altering transformation that helps people identify and move beyond core constrictions which negatively affect their current health, well-being and performance. Over the course of a three-month period Ken facilitates individuals releasing past and present blocks that have been getting in the way of them living a life of confidence, joy and ease.
“Since the first session with Ken I have found myself excelling at work, becoming one of the top sales representatives in my company; top 5 in the country out of 500,” says Daniel O’Rourke.
The outworking, or effect of this kind of deep work is a profound shift in the way in which people are able to approach life, and work through the myriad of issues that daily life presents with ease and grace.
Once benchmarks have been established there is a thorough explanation of how the client has been sabotaging themselves, and what fears are driving the sabotage pattern. It is from this point that Ken Guzzo and client work together to identify the specific fears locked in the nervous system.
They then clear those fears, releasing the constrictions that have been jamming the system. Explained in more detail in the Psychology of our Work, the nervous system is like a personal, internal security system, and the alarm, once triggered, stays on alert watching for anything that may pose a threat. Having been cleared, the system is free to establish a new foundation from which to operate. All of this occurs in the first session.
“After 30 years of personal growth practice, I thought I’d experienced it all,” said Bill Chalmers. “Prime Potential® blew this myth completely out of the water. What a profound, life-altering, confronting, uprooting, belief-busting way to live life! Delightful and wonderful…always revealing and sometimes disturbing…and ongoingly inspiring, invigorating, and revitalizing. Thank you!”

Four Sports Psychology Programs Help Baseball Players End Hitting Slumps During Spring Training
Four Sports Psychology Programs Help Baseball Players End Hitting Slumps During Spring Training
River Edge, NJ (PRWEB) March 6, 2008
Hitting a baseball is one of the most difficult tasks in all of sports and getting into hitting slump can be quite frustrating for players, parents and coaches.
If you can equip hitters with good mental and physical skills during Spring training, you can help them to prevent themselves from getting stuck in a slump that lasts a long time and can ruin a season and a chance at a pro career or a scholarship.
Jay P. Granat, Ph.D., Psychotherapist and Founder of http://www.StayInTheZone.com gets calls every week from players, parents and coaches who are concerned about a hitting slump.
“My kid is a great hitter, but he has lost his confidence at the plate.”
“He was hitting the cover off the ball, but he got nervous when the scouts were watching him.”
“The coaches have a ‘if you don’t hit, you sit’ policy. This seems to unsettle my kid.”
“Ever since I was hit by a pitch, I can’t get comfortable in the batter box.”
A great hitter needs to be relaxed, focused, confident and optimistic when he steps up to the plate. In addition, he needs to know how to think smart when he steps into the batter’s box.
Dr. Granat, who has been featured in The New York Times, Good Morning America, The British Broadcasting Company, The Canadian Broadcasting Company, The International Tribune, The Associated Press, Tennis Magazine and Executive Golfer Magazine was named one of the country’s Top Ten Mental Gurus by Golf Digest. He is featured in a documentary film about long distance running.
Granat helps hitters in one of four ways. First, he is available for phone counseling sessions. Players, parents and coaches can call him at 888 580-ZONE.
Second, for hard core baseball players, who eat, drink, think and breathe baseball he recommends his 101 Ways To Break Out Of A Hitting Slump CD Program. http://www.stayinthezone.com/baseball.htm
Third, for players, parents and coaches who want an introduction to sports psychology, self-hypnosis and mastering the mental toughness aspects of sports he recommends his Stay In The Zone program. Thousands of athletes from around the world from virtually every sport have used this program. http://www.stayinthezone.com/get_stay.htm
Fourth, Dr. Granat’s book Get Into The Zone In Just One Minute: 21 Ways To Improve Your Performance is about to be released by http://www.worldaudience.org . Here is a link about the book http://worldaudience.powweb.com/pubs_bks/DrGranat.html , which will be sold at http://www.amazon.com and at Barnes and Noble shortly. This simple guide teaches you how to get into the zone quickly and efficiently when the pressure is on.

Three New Books by Adler School Faculty Members Apply Adlerian Psychology Insights to Contemporary Issues
Three New Books by Adler School Faculty Members Apply Adlerian Psychology Insights to Contemporary Issues
(PRWEB) January 24, 2010
The Adler School of Professional Psychology is pleased to announce the newly published works of three faculty members – Shaifali Sandhya, Ph.D., Stephen Kahn, Ph.D., and Thor M. Johansen, Psy.D. – applying the academic and clinical insights of professional psychology to contemporary issues of culture, religion and therapy.
Dr. Shaifali Sandhya’s book, “Love Will Follow: Why the Indian Marriage is Burning,” published October 2009 by Random House India, is a first-of-its-kind clinical and cultural study of the lives of middle class married Indians, living in India and abroad. For the book, which explores the relationships between husbands and wives, Dr. Sandhya conducted 400 interviews with Indian couples about sex, love and marital issues. The book has been well received, and has garnered recognition in India Today Magazine, Air India’s in-flight magazine, and Asian Age Newspaper. Dr. Sandhya, a former Andrew Mellon Fellow at the University of Chicago, also facilitates discussion of her book on a dedicated Facebook group page.
In his book, “Religion and Spirituality in Psychotherapy: An Individual Psychology Perspective,” fifth edition, published December 2009 by Springer Publishing Company, Dr. Thor M. Johansen provides methods and case examples as guidelines for applying Adlerian psychological practices to clients of each of the world’s major religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. He offers insight into the traditions, theories, and values of each religion, offering new possibilities for mental health professionals seeking to adapt traditional therapy and counseling to more fully understand and help clients with spiritual and psychological issues.
Dr. Stephen Kahn, director of the Adler School’s Clinical Hypnosis program, advocates for integration of hypnotic techniques with standard medical care in a book he co-authored, “Medical Hypnosis Primer: Clinical and Research Evidence,” published in 2010 by Routledge. The book explains the greatly misunderstood field of medical hypnosis and encourages mental healthcare practitioners to learn how to use hypnosis for a wide range of disorders. Dr. Kahn provides an overview of clinical and research evidence to support use of medical hypnosis in treating stress and anxiety issues.
“Our faculty publishing accomplishments enrich both the education of our students and the depth of our academic curriculum,” said Martha Casazza, Ed.D., vice president of the School’s Academic Affairs “They also help to broaden the relevance of socially responsible psychology as it is practiced locally, nationally and around the globe.”
About the Authors:
Dr. Sandhya is a core faculty member in the doctoral program of Clinical Psychology at the Adler School, she teaches culture, globalization, and social psychology. Her research interests include topics such as intimate relationships, culture, and leadership. Dr. Sandhya also is the director of CARE Family Consultation, a boutique relational consultancy firm specializing in issues related to fragile marriages and complex family matters in Delhi, India and Chicago.
Dr. Johansen, an adjunct faculty member at the School, is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, providing therapy in outpatient clinical settings, inpatient psychiatric settings, and college counseling centers. He has published several professional articles on misbehavior in children, psychotherapy, hypnosis, and religion.
Dr. Kahn is a part-time program faculty member and coordinator of the Clinical Hypnosis Program at the School. He is a licensed clinical psychologist and serves as Chair of the Clinical Practices Section at the Illinois Psychological Association.

Seven Reasons Why Rafael Nadal Won Wimbledon Doctor, Author Shares Insights On Tennis Psychology
Seven Reasons Why Rafael Nadal Won Wimbledon Doctor, Author Shares Insights On Tennis Psychology
River Edge, NJ (PRWEB) July 9, 2008
According to Jay P. Granat, Ph.D., a Psychotherapist and Founder of ww.StayInTheZone.com and author of numerous books and programs for topathletes, Rafael Nadal won this super match for several reasons. Dr. Granat, who wrote Zone Tennis, How To Get Into The Zone With Sport Psychology And Self-Hypnosis and How To Get Into The Zone In Just One Minute, feels that Nadal
was the victor for the following reasons:
“Nadal had great momentum and confidence after his dominating victory over Federer at the French Open. Momentum and confidence go together in sports.
Nadal is physically stronger than is Federer. He hits the tennis ball harder andhe generates more racket speed than does Federer. This is a significant advantage.
Nadal appears to be quicker than Federer. This is another major edge for Nadal.
Roger Federer has been the number one tennis player for over three hundred weeks. He is a fantastic player, but he is not a machine. It is very difficult to be on top of your tennis game week in and week out when you are playing the world’s finest players all the time. I do not believe he is finished or burnt out. Rather, I think he has had a fantastic run and he he has now encountered another super player.
Nadal appears to be having a great deal of fun on the court. An athlete who is enjoying himself is apt to perform well. Federer, who is always the gentleman, appears to be a bit burdened by the pressure to surpass Pete Sampras and to maintain his number one ranking. By the way, I believe he will win several more grand slam titles titles before he retires from the game.
The enthusiasm among Nadal’s family and supporters is electrifying. It seems that Nadal is is quite inspired by his coach, uncle Tony, and by his family and friends. Their high level of energy and demonstrative support are contributing to his success in the majors right now.
Federer may have been a bit unsettled after his one sided loss in Paris. It is sometimes not easy for an athlete who strives for excellence to be resilient after a very poor performance.
Now, I am not saying that Federer will never beat Nadal again. I believe he will have some victories over his prime rival in the sport.
Moreover, this rivalry will be great for the sport and great for tennis fansand sports fans,” says Dr. Granat, the mental coach to top athletes from many sports including tennis.

Hypnosis, NLP, Sports Psychology; Pittsburgh Steelers Prepare for Super Bowl XLIII
Hypnosis, NLP, Sports Psychology; Pittsburgh Steelers Prepare for Super Bowl XLIII
Pittsburgh PA (PRWEB) January 29, 2009
When the Pittsburgh Steelers square off against the Arizona Cardinals in Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIII, the players’ mental training and preparations will have received as much if not more attention than their physical conditioning and strength training. Today’s professional athletes understand that victories happen, not on the gridiron, the pitcher’s mound, or the eighteenth hole, but within the small, complex space of his or her own mindset. The Pittsburgh Steelers will be entering into Super Bowl XLIII with an expectation of success and a will to win. Dan Vitchoff, MS Ed., CHt., (President PA Hypnosis Center in Pittsburgh, PA) Board Certified and Licensed Hypnotherapist and Mental Training and Performance Coach, works with gold medal Olympians on Mental Training and Preparation. He explains the implications of mental preparedness for the Pittsburgh Steelers, “Whether you’re at the Olympics competing against every country in the world or in the Super Bowl, America’s most watched television broadcast, the winners are always the athletes who have made the best preparations and then make the fewest mental mistakes.”
Addressing the mental preparation needs of amateur and professional athletes has led Dan Vitchoff to develop ‘The 33 Method,’ which incorporates hypnosis, sports psychology, NLP, visualization and imagery to help athletes prepare for victory. 2008 Beijing Olympic Gold Medalists Walton Glenn Eller and Vincent Hancock credit much of their Olympic success to the work they did with Dan Vitchoff. Glenn Eller says that his Gold Medal is proof that Dan Vitchoff’s Methods and Techniques really do work.
From the Olympic stage to his office in Pittsburgh, PA Dan Vitchoff’s Methods and Techniques have a profound impact. Clients at Vitchoff’s Pittsburgh hypnosis center have effectively used ‘The 33 Method’ to help them lose weight, stop smoking, and reduce tension and anxiety. Dan Vitchoff’s Methods and Techniques have been proven equally successful whether they are used by athletes to win championships or by the average person trying to break habits and change life patterns.
Dan Vitchoff explains, “Here at our Pittsburgh hypnosis office, we offer the same success strategies that worked for our clients who are Olympic athletes, to our clients who come to see us seeking to lose weight, stop smoking, or simply improve their lives.”
Few top professional athletes today go into competition without taking advantage of the tools that sports psychology, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), visualization and imagery, and hypnosis offer to help them develop mental toughness, improve focus, and achieve a competitive edge. At the PA Hypnosis Center, Dan Vitchoff and Catherine Dolgos, a Certified Consulting Hypnotherapist and Fitness and Nutrition Specialist, work not only with competitive athletes, but with individuals who are facing their own opponents, including obesity, smoking, and other addictions.
Dona Weber says that losing weight with the help of the PA Hypnosis Center has freed her from a lifetime of roller coaster dieting. “Daniel Vitchoff going to China with a team competing in the Olympic Games; that was my eye opener. This is the last time I have to lose this weight because … (weight loss hypnosis) was a life changing experience.” Weber goes on to say that she has spent her entire life fighting this battle and now has lost over 45 pounds in less than 4 months.
Dan Vitchoff, a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, isn’t making any predictions about the outcome of Super Bowl XLIII, but acknowledges that the team who shows up most mentally prepared to win will take home the victory.
About The 33 Method:
Dan Vitchoff, MS Ed., CHt. Board Certified and Licensed Hypnotherapist, is a Mental Training and Performance Coach for US Olympic Gold Medalists. The best Methods and Techniques in the world, that Vitchoff used to help these elite athletes prepare for the Olympics are the same methods and techniques used to help clients at the PA Hypnosis Center improve in the following areas: Weight Loss, Quit Smoking, Reduce Stress, Tension and Anxiety, Overcome Fears, Phobias and Insomnia, Improve Sports Performance, Improve Memory and Concentration, Boost Self Confidence, Public Speaking and Personal and Professional Coaching. learn more at pahypnosiscenter.com

Ultimate Fighter Psychology Coaches Train the Brain for Victory
Ultimate Fighter Psychology Coaches Train the Brain for Victory
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) July 17, 2009
Internationally recognized mental game coaches Stephen Ladd and Bill Gladwell have launched their latest website http://www.RenegadeMindsetForFighters.com, the world’s premier resource for utilizing “alternative sports psychology tactics” to become more a dominant fighter in the ring or octagon.
“Any fighter will tell you that there is a huge mental component to combat sports – MMA, boxing, martial arts, wrestling etc. The ability to stay calm, focused and ‘in the zone’ is vital to consistently fighting to your potential,” says Ladd. “Our system is designed to clear negative emotional issues like fear and self-doubt, and even tackle physical issues like fatigue and pain.”
Renegade Mindset For Fighters ™ is a combat-sport-specific combination of three alternative sports psychology technologies – Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) ™, Energy Psychology and Hypnosis.
“This is definitely not traditional sports psychology”, admits Gladwell. “Many fighters we work with have had less than impressive results with the all the theories from PhDs and positive thinking mumbo jumbo from “The Secret’ proponents. We are coaches, not shrinks, and it’s our passion to teach fighters techniques that they can use immediately to become more dominant and victorious.”
And it seems to be working. Gladwell and Ladd’s program Renegade Mindset For Fighters , which includes a 75 page e-manual and 3 audio hypnosis sessions in download formant, has fighters utilizing the techniques in 14 countries. Michael Sohm of Germany, a competitive judo practitioner, enthusiastically endorses the system. “With Renegade Mindset for Fighters I was able to achieve calmness and confidence, and that gave me great game focus,” reports Sohm.
Even members of the sports medical community have taken notice. Eric Serrano MD, a consultant to world class combat athletes, says, “Renegade Mindset is the future of fight psychology. It may be a bit unusual, but so are the results. And my fighters are after results.”
The new website provides free instructional articles and videos, and a special report “How To Overcome Fear and Pre-Fight Anxiety” – Visit http://www.RenegadeMindsetForFighters.com

Who Will Win The Super Bowl And Why? New Book Shows How Psychology And Math Predict Winners Of Top Sporting Events
Who Will Win The Super Bowl And Why? New Book Shows How Psychology And Math Predict Winners Of Top Sporting Events
River Edge, NJ (PRWEB) January 19, 2010
A new book by Jay P. Granat, Ph.D. Psychotherapist and Founder of http://www.stayinthezone.com and Carlton Chin, CFA, outlines fifty mathematical and psychological factors of champions who win big games, like The Super Bowl.
“Team owners, sports executives, athletic directors and coaches can use the authors’ ideas to evaluate their organizations and determine how well teams are likely to do in a big game. Sports executives can also determine what they need to do to build a winning franchise.
“Fans and people who like to wager on sports can integrate the concepts in this book with their analysis and their existing betting systems.
“Parents of young athletes will also find this book to be quite informative,” according to Dr. Jay Granat.
Dr. Granat, who has helped Olympic athletes and who has been named one of America’s top ten mental gurus by Golf Digest and been featured in The New York Times, The International Herald Tribune, Good Morning America, Tennis Magazine, ESPN Magazine, ESPN Radio, Tennis View Magazine, The BBC, The Daily News, The Star Ledger, The Bergen Record and The CBC, believes that psychology and statistics can teach us a great deal about what it takes to perform well when the pressure is on.
There are many questions that Dr. Granat and Carlton Chin, an MIT graduate and quantitative trader, who founded his own hedge fund CARATcapital.com fifteen years ago, start to examine in this book and in their work with athletes, coaches and teams. Here are just a few:
What really determines who wins big games like The Super Bowl? What separates two great teams from one another? What causes errors in big games? And what allows some players and teams to handle the pressure? What causes teams, players and coaches to choke under the pressure of a big game like The Super Bowl? And what can be done to help players, teams and coaches perform their best in The Super Bowl and other big games?
Indeed, there are a lot of factors which determine who will win The Super Bowl. Some experts focus on traditional football statistics like: points scored, points allowed, number of wins, number of losses, turnovers, takeaways, yards gained, yards allowed, quarterback ratings, momentum, margin of victories, margin of losses and recent performances. And these measures are relevant.
However, Dr. Granat and Carlton Chin show how mental toughness, coaching, leadership, focus, errors, interpersonal relationships, attitude, and ability to get into the zone contribute to success in big games. And they have mathematical data which support many of their theories.
“I enjoy applying my approaches to the world of sports,” remarked Chin.
The new book, published by World Audience, Inc., is called Who Will Win The Big Game? 50 Characteristics of Champions. This easy to read guide identifies the key psychological and mathematical issues that coaches, fans, team owners, sports executives, athletes and bettors need to be consider when evaluating two top teams or two top athletes that are meeting in a big game.
According to Dr. Granat, author of How To Get Into The Zone With Sport Psychology and Self-Hypnosis, Zone Tennis, How To Lower Your Golf Score With Sport Psychology And Self-Hypnosis, Get Into The Zone In Just One Minute and 101 Ways To Break A Hitting Slump, “Carlton and I plan to work closely with managers, agents, coaches, teams, universities and professional franchises. We can show them what they need to understand and change to be certain that their team performs to their fullest potential. Math and the social sciences can teach us a lot about winning consistently and frequently. And Carlton’s love affairs with both numbers and sports allow him to discover some important trends and patterns of success.”
The book also has some interesting statistics about success in baseball, tennis, golf, hockey and football. In fact, Mr. Chin discovered a model which has predicted the winner correctly in eighty percent of The Super Bowls played in the past.
So, who will win this big game? Prior to the contest, the authors will place their prediction on their blog and in Dr. Granat’s weekly newspaper column which appears in four New Jersey weeklies. His blog is http://www.stayinthezone.com/blog
